Objectives: This prospective cohort study aimed to describe the technique of mini endoscopic septoplasty for patients with a high localized nasal septum deviation in front of the middle turbinate and chronic sinusitis or nasal sinus fungus ball. Our primary objective was to investigate the indications and outcomes of this procedure, and the secondary objective was to compare it with regular endoscopic septoplasty.
Methods: Patients with chronic sinusitis or nasal sinus fungus ball and high localized nasal septum deviation underwent mini endoscopic septoplasty, while those with a broad deviation of the nasal septum underwent regular endoscopic septoplasty. The study evaluated the procedure duration, blood loss, and complications associated with both methods. All patients were followed up for 3 months.
Results: Thirty patients underwent mini endoscopic septoplasty; another 30 underwent regular endoscopic septoplasty. Mini endoscopic septoplasty demonstrated a significantly shorter procedure duration and lower blood loss than regular endoscopic septoplasty. Neither group experienced operative complications, such as nasal septum perforation or hematoma.
Conclusion: Mini endoscopic septoplasty is a safe, time-efficient, and effective technique indicated for highly localized nasal septum deviations in patients with chronic sinusitis or nasal sinus fungus ball. This procedure offers advantages in terms of the surgical approach and postoperative debridement. Future research could explore the broader clinical implications of these findings.

The benefits of septoplasty for patients with deviated nasal septum and allergic rhinitis: a meta-analysis.
Sci Rep

Department of Otolaryngology, Head and Neck Surgery, The First Hospital of Jilin University, No. 1 Xinmin Street, Changchun, 130000, Jilin Province, China.
Article Synopsis
- A study assessed the effectiveness of endoscopic septoplasty for patients with a deviated nasal septum and allergic rhinitis, using a meta-analysis of various databases up to 2024.
- Results showed that patients who underwent the surgery experienced significant improvement in total nasal symptoms and specific allergic rhinitis symptoms compared to those treated with spray therapy alone.
- The study concluded that while septoplasty provides substantial benefits, it should be conducted by skilled clinicians who can evaluate the individual anatomy of the patient's nasal septum.
Multilevel-Single Stage-Functional Rhinoplasty & BRP (Barb Reposition Palatoplasty) in Surgical Management of Primary Snorers, UARS and Mild OSA.

Obstructive sleep apnoea syndrome (OSA) is a multi-factorial disorder, with quite complex endotypes, consisting of anatomical and non-anatomical pathophysiological factors. Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) is recognized as the first-line standard treatment for OSA, whereas upper airway (UA) surgery is often recommended for treating mild OSA patients who have refused or cannot tolerate CPAP, mild and primary snorers. The main results achievable by the surgery are UA expansion, and/or stabilization, and/or removal of the obstructive tissue to different UA levels.

Background Eustachian tube dysfunction is characterized by insufficient dilation, leading to secondary pathologies in the middle ear. By comparing pre- and post-operative grades of Eustachian tube function and nasal resistance measurements, this study seeks to determine if septoplasty can improve Eustachian tube function in cases where nasal septal deviation is likely to cause mechanical dysfunction. We also aim to validate the Jain Bhalerao endoscopic classification of nasal septal deviation by assessing its utility in identifying septal deviations at a higher risk of causing Eustachian tube dysfunction.

Article Synopsis
- The systematic review aimed to investigate the incidence, risk factors, and outcomes of toxic shock syndrome (TSS) following endoscopic sinus surgery (ESS) and septoplasty, based on data from various medical databases.
- The review included findings from 25 studies and identified 70 TSS cases over 38 years, indicating an extremely low incidence rate of 0.0003 (or about 30 cases per 100,000 people) related to these surgeries.
- Despite the occurrence of TSS in patients with or without nasal packing, nearly all patients (97%) recovered fully, highlighting the need for further research to identify high-risk individuals.
Comparative Study on Finger Gloves Nasal Packing Vs Merocel Nasal Packing After Intranasal Surgery: Randomized Controlled Trial.

Article Synopsis
- Nasal packing is a common procedure done after intranasal surgeries to prevent complications like bleeding and infections.
- This study compared the effectiveness of Merocel nasal packing with Glove finger nasal packing after surgeries such as Septoplasty and Polypectomy.
- Results showed no significant differences in outcomes, but patients with Glove finger packs experienced slightly faster mucociliary clearance, indicating both methods are effective.
